‘End Polio Now’ - purple crocus planting this morning at Trent Bank, Derrythorpe - great effort from club members in planting 2000 crocus bulbs - there will be a lovely show in early Spring.
Polio now presently only exists in 2 countries in the World largely due to the work of rotarians over recent decades.
Our thanks to the people that purchased purple crocus bulbs to plant in their gardens.
